There are many ways to die in this world. Old age, sickness, suicide, or murder. But the one way to die that is feared above all else is spontaneous combustion. Follow Ghost & the rest of Squad 8 as they take on and try to find an end to Infernals...
???: You are aware of what's going on in the world? The chaos that consumes it? The planet is in shambles. Space distorts in areas where flames rise, carving up continents. Maps are being redrawn, and many countries that once existed have fallen. These days, there are few places where you can live a decent life--other than the Tokyo Empire.

???: And so, people gather here in the relatively undamaged Tokyo, where the Holy Sol Temple and Haijima Industries have developed Amaterasu, the perpetual thermal energy plant. The empire is the beneficiary of its vast energy, and has made further advancements of its own.
Joker: Can we get down to it, or does this story keep going?
???: Eh. Who can say? Personally, I would like very much like for it to continue. So how'd it go?
Joker: Used the stuff I had you make for me. The results were more than satisfactory.
???: I did a little digging into Special Fire Force Company Eight. I found out something interesting. Their captain, Akitaru Obi, was decorated twice in his firefighter days. He was later stripped of both metals. Both times it was because he defied orders and put human lives first.
Joker: Oh, did he, now? For better or worse, seems the captain was a model firefighter.
???: He's the cornerstone. Company Eight was built around that man's magnetism and strength of character. They're a different breed than the other companies. It's fascinating.
